Match State: Tea, Day 2

       well another interesting session, a few wickets and a fair amount
        of runs too
       Australia's lead has extended to 159 runs
       the West Indies would hope to quickly clean up the Australian tail
        in the final session
       and go about reducing this deficit
       but it will certainly take something special from the West Indians
        to stop the Australians winning from here
       One suspects Australia won't mind being bowled out in the final
        session as it will allow them a crack at the West Indian batsmen
        late in the afternoon after a full day in the field

Match State: End of Match

       The West Indies have been comprehensively embarrased by a much more
        powerful and focussed side
       Australia winning midday through the third session - requiring only
        just over half of the alotted time for this Test
       Giving Australia 11 consecutive Test victories
       Equaling the record winning streak held by the West Indies team
        from 1983/84 to 1984/85
       An emphatic victory for the Australia, they were particularly
        strong in the bowling department, depsite injuries to Gillespie,
        Fleming and of course Warne
       Glenn McGrath being the main stand out with a match tally of 10/27
       The West Indies can draw very few positives from this game, but one
        of those few was the bowling of debutant Marlon Black, who bowled
        a great deal better than some of his team mates and got the
        rewards
       The win gives Australia a 1-0 lead in this 5-Test series
       Glenn McGrath has been announced Man of the Match
